| Description |  |
The subjects they chose and their insistently new, distinctive techniques transformed painting. These artists explored the limits of the medium, investigating its potential to evoke light, color, texture, space, atmosphere, and mood. At the same time, they forged new ways for the public to see their work, exhibiting in alternative venues to the official, state-sponsored exhibitions that routinely rejected their submissions. These avant-garde artists planted the seeds of modernism that would flourish in the twentieth century. |
